Klingon word: DoQmIv'a'
Part of speech: noun
Definition: bathtub, swimming pool
Source: qepHom 2016
_______________________________________________
DoQmIv sink (for cleaning hands, face, food, etc.) (n) (qep'a' 2016)
DoQmIvHom small tub, bucket (n) (qep'a' 2016)
DoQmIv'a' bathtub (n) (qep'a' 2016); swimming pool (qepHom 2016)
(Lieven, qepHom 2016): When {DoQmIv'a'} is a big tub, then - of course - a {DoQmIvHom} is a small one, so it can be used for the meaning of a "bucket", or anything similar.
(MO, qepHom 2016): when needed, distinguish by qualifiers: {Say'moHmeH DoQmIv'a'}, {QalmeH DoQmIv'a'}
(KGT 91): The verb {HaH} ["marinate"] ... is now often used in the more general sense of "soak, drench". It is frequently heard in the reflexive form ({HaH'egh} "soak oneself") in reference to such activities as drinking a great deal, which has positive connotations, and bathing, an occasional undertaking with negative connotations.
(TKW 35): The negative associations with water might also be seen when Worf remarked to Counselor Deanna Troi, "Swimming is too much like bathing."
